Research in View
Overview
During Winter quarter 2012, the Ohio State University will be transferring from OSU:pro to Research in View.
Research in View is a data management system developed by Thomson-Reuters in conjunction with OCIO Learning Technology. Research in View is based off of OSU:pro through a close working partnership between Thomson-Reuters and the OSU:pro team. This means Thomson-Reuters was able to use six years of OSU:pro experience and feedback to evolve Research in View into a more user friendly system that still includes all the features OSU faculty expect.
Promotion and Tenure
The Promotion and Tenure process will remain the same.
The Promotion and Tenure Dossier Report will be created through Research in View. The Dossier Report produced from Research in View will be exactly the same as the OSU:pro Dossier Report and will follow the Office of Academic Affairs guidelines. The fact that the Dossier Report will be produced from a new system does not change anything else in the Promotion and Tenure process.
Why Research in View?
Thomson-Reuters’ vast resources and databases allow them to add revolutionary features to Research in View. For example, a Publication Recommendation Import System means that users will have to do less manual data entry. Advanced reporting options will let users create more usable and customizable reports.
Your existing OSU:pro experience and data will not be lost!
Every user’s OSU:pro profile and all of the data within it will be automatically transferred to their Research in View profile. The first time a user signs into Research in View, they will find a fully populated profile created from their OSU:pro data.
Although the user interface of Research in View will be different than OSU:pro, an OSU:pro user will be able to easily navigate their Research in View profile. All categories will retain the same name from OSU:pro; such as the familiar Teaching, Research, and Service sections.
